. THE DISCUSSION AT GRAHAM.
On SatardaT last the candidates for Governor
addressed the people at Graham. Some five
hundred persons, or moreperhaps, were pres
ent from Alamance and the adjoining counties.
The discussion commenced at 12 o'clock, and
continued until half past 4, the utmost courtesy
navugpeea observed by the candidates through
out. One of the editors of the Becorder was
present and took a few notes, but as our columns
will be crowded this week, and most of the top
ics discussed were those upon which the views
tms: canoioaiea nave Deiore been riven
through the reports of the debates at other places,
we shall not attempt anv thine like a lull re
port, VA brief notion will suffice. i : --r-V-' '
: Gov. Beid opened the disoasaion, by. stating
that he was is bad healtii,anduot prepared in
mind or body for the task; before him. He first
took up the Presidential question, discussed the
claims of Gen. Pierce and Gen.' Scott, and de
clared his preference for Pierce and Kijtg, be
cause nominated by the Democratic Convention.
Gov. Beid said, if he could, he was not disposed
to detract any .thing from the military reputa
tion of Gen, Scott , Some persons were gifted
with various talents, bat it is not often that the
qualities for a distinguished statesman and sol
dier are combined in the same person as was
the ease with Washington, and, as he believed
with- Jackson. - Gen. Seott, however, was only
distinguished as a general; he was not knows as
a statesman.
Gov. Beid next dwelt upon the Public Lands
and the Tariff; after disposing of which subjects,
he took up the Free Suffrage and Convention
questions, and devoted to these the remaining
part of the two hours allotted to him.
Of the Governor's speech, we mast say. is per
fect candor and sincerity, that it was the tamest
effort we nave ever beard from a Unbernatorial
candidate, and produced, as far as we could per
eeive, bat little effect upon either Democrats or
Whigs. There was not even the appearance of
satisfaction depicted on the faces of his friends.
Mr. Kerr replied, takingthe Governor's speech
in the reverse order His views upon Free Suf
frage and the Convention question, which were
first taken up, were expressed in such strong
and forcible language, with such clearness and
precision of argument, and with such earnest
ness and true eloquence, that the audience, be
fore listless and drowsy, at once became atten
tive, and was soon aroused to a comfortable de
gree of enthusiasm, which was manifested by
frequent applause. While, advocating the re
publican doctrine that the majority should rule
in the State, Mr. Kerr made an allusion to Gen.
Saunders, who proposed in a card to meet him
at Graham on this question in place of Gov. Beid,
which allusion was received with cheers and a
hearty laugh. If this simple allusion to the
General's arrogant proposition met with such a
response, what a storm of feeling would have
been aroused had Gov. Beid permitted the Gen
eral to take his place.
Mr. Kerr next discussed the Tariff and the
Public Lands, maintaining the Whig doctrines
on these questions with consummate skill and
ability, and concluding this part of his speech
with a most beautiful and touching eulogy of
Uenry Ulay.
. inr. Kerr then took up the residential ques
tkuu He said he preferred Mr. Fillmore, bat
should go for Gen. Scott, he having planted
himself on the platform of the Convention. Mr.
Ken referred to the remark of Gov. Beid, that
Gen. Scott had enjr distinguished himself as a
General, and said : In this Gen. ooott certainly
had greatly the advantage of Gen. Pierce; for
Gen. had not distinguished himself either
as a General or ta Statesman, though be had
been tried in both positions 1 If Franklin Pierce
had any brilliancy as a General, it was like the
light of the moon, only borrowed from the sun.
Gen. Pierce marched with Gen. Seott to the ci
ty of Mexico, and hence his brilliancy. Mr. K.
then snokeof Gen. Scott's services to the ooastrr.
of his nigh character and sterling integrity: and
concluded py saying that such a man could be
none other than a friend to the Union, and all
its interests. For the Union he had fought, and
wih that Union, as it is, his fame is inseparably
eonnectea.
Mr. Kerr eoucleded his speech with a few
remarks in reference to the Hon. William A.
Graham, the Whig candidate for Vice President
Here the, speaker had a theme the bare men
tion of wnicn will cause the hearts of all North
Carolina Whigs to exalt bat more especially
the Whigs of Alamance and Orange. Mr. Kerr
spoke feelingly of Gov. Graham; he had known
him intimately for twenty years, and if Gov.
Graham was not a pore ana patriotic man, none
could be found. How worthy is he to fill the
second office within the gift of the American
people; and if. in the' providence of God. as in
the case of Gen. Harrison and Gen. Taylor, the
President should be removed, how eminentlv
worthy is be to take the first office. Many cheers
followed Mr. Kerr's speech. There were few,
we presume, who did not feel sorry when Mr.
was informed by his competitor that his two
hoars had expired.
Gov. Beid having the conclusion, made a sort
of runnine? commentary of half an tumr'a
upon Mr. Kerr's remarks. Mr. Kerr, in a hand
some manner, bade the people a fair good even
ing, as did Got. Beid also; and the candidates
aepartea lor tneir respective nomee.
Smee Saturday we have had a rood onnorta-
nity of learning; something of the impression
made upon the assembly by the discussion, and
we are happy to say that, in our opinion, it was
such as wul tell well for the Whir cause in An-
gust next. jiuuoonmg ueeorder.

JOSHUA R. GIDDINGS.
Whatever may be said, about the vdarform nf
ue n nig party, there can be so doubt of one
fact, that there is no nlank in it far abolitionists
aad mtervexUMtusts to stand upon. We -showed
TestMjthatnhejrreatMagTa
Democratic to the Whig platform, because the
former is silent upon the subject of intervention,
while the latter is directly committed against
the doctrine. Tbe aOenee of the Democracy
npon a subject which has so recently engrossed
the attention of the country is easily enough ac
counted for. The German vote in the United
States is not to be demised, and the Demoer
could not think of driving it off from their side
of the question. Bat white the Whigs have gives
no plank for the advocates of intervention to rest
npon, they have been equally careful to say is
substance to the abolitionists: "If you came
upon oar Dlatform. vou must leave vonr m-inm.
pies behind you. We have no covert mrkingplace
or corner in which men of your strree can hid
themselves. If you act with us. yoa must do it
in spite of jour own principles, for there is not

This b the interpretation which that rabid abo

platform; for he has declined to put that mass

DEMOCRATIC ACCEPTANCES.

times, the acceptances of Frank Pierce and Wm.

President and Vice President They are poor

Why is it that your great sinners offioe or

A NOBLE TRIBUTE 1
Henry Clay, in the Senate of the United
States in 1850, spoke thus of General Scott and
the Mexican war:
"I mast take this opportunity to say,' that, for
skill for science for strategy for bold and
daring fighting for chivalry of individuals and
masses, that portion of the Mexican war which
was conducted by the eallant Scott as r.hif
mander, stands unrivalled either bv the AA.
of Cortes himself or by those of any other com
mander in ancient or modern times."
DxsoaAcxn, Aocoannra to tuxiU oww
rxa. In the Locofooo National Convsntian m
effort was made to agree upon a Platform before
ballotting for President to make a declaration
of principles before nominating a candidate. Mr.

It is doe to the memory of Mr. Clat to say
that of the many distinguished men who have
ended their lives at the seat of governmen t and
whose stations and yirtnes claimed for their ash
es every mark of respect there has not been an
at whose obsequies the public heart has been so
deeply sJTsotod. The feeling of every one seems
to be as though he had lost a personal friend;
indeed, for barely any other publia man was the
sentiment of affection oyer so universally blend

generation cannot expect Ho soe filled.
The obsequies were conducted yesterday a
greeably to the form prescribed by the Commit
tee of Arrangements of the Senate.
The procession left the National Hotel, the
nlace of Mr. Cult's late residence and decease.
between eleven and twelve o'clock, - and moved
in silence towards the Capitol. There were no
carriages in the procession, nor on that rfart of
mm tous atung wuicu is , passeo. , xaeoomn
containing the body of the decased was borne
npon a ear appropriately draped, and drawn by
grey horses, the whole befitting the deeply-felt
solemnity of the scene. Festoons of mourning
lined the buildings of the avenue on each side,
to an extent we believe, not before witnessed on
aav similar occasion.
In the procession, which was escorted by two
or three of oar military companies, were the
Members of the Senate of the United States,
and many distinguished officers of the oiviL mil
itary, and naval departments of the Govern
ment, together with the Chief Municipal Offi
cers and Corporate bodies of Washington and
Georgetown, and of the city of Baltimore. A
Urge attendance of private eitisens also testi
fied their profound respect and reverence for the
noble dead by uniting in the procession. The
President of the United States, Members of the
Cabinet and the Diplomatic Corps had already
proceeded to the Capitol, in order to occupy
their respective places in the Senate Chamber.
When the procession arrived on the area be
fore the east front of the Capitol, and during
the performance of a solemn requiem, the cof-
an was removed trom the funeral car, and borne
up the steps of the Portico, carried through the
Botundo, and rested in the Senate Chamber
As much of the procession as could be admit
ted within the chamber entered, bat a conside
rable portion was necessarily excluded. Intel
ligence having been given to the House of Rep
sen tatives of the arrival of the corpse in the
Capitol, the members proceeded in a body, with
the Speaker at their head, to the Senate Cham
ber, where they remained daring the funeral
service. This was conducted according to the
forms of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to
which Mr. Clat was attached, by the Rev. C.
M. BcTLxa, Chaplain to the Senate, who con
cluded with an impressive sermon, in the course
of which interesting and consolatory allusions
were made to circumstances that had occurred
during the intercourse of Dr. Bnrua with Mr.
Clat, in the latter period ef his sickness. Dr.
Butler seised the occasion thus presented to en
force with power how important a place chris
tian morals and maxims must now and ever
bear in all tree aad great statesmanship. ,
' On the conclusion of the sermon, the Mem
bers of the House returned to their hall and ad
journed. The corpse was then removed from
the Senate Chamber, to the centre of th 1U
tando, under the immediate charge of the Mar
shal of the District of Colombia and his assis
tants. Long before this time thousands of oar

which be was provoked by one of the most

When we take into consideration the rela

Mr. Randolph during the long period of their
Congressional career, we can only wonder that,
with the sice sense of honor peculiar to South

He graduated at the University of N. C, at the
age of 20, studied law with the illustrious Gas
ton, entered public life ia 1833 as a member of
the N. C House of Commons, was re-elected fire
times aad made Speaker of the House. At the
age of 37 he was elected to the U. 8. Senate and at
the age of 41, Governor of the State, to which
office he was re-elected. He was offered the
post of Minister to Spain by Gen. Taylor, which
he declined, and the poet of Secretary of Navy,
by Mr. Fillmore, which he now fills with so
much credit to himself and honor to the coun
try. So much for the Whig Candidate wbe came
honestly by bis qualities of character.. Mr. Gra
ham is the youngest son of Gen. Joseph Grs

went to N. C. when but five years old. At th
age of 19, Mr. Graham senior entered the Rev

JaJy5tn 1852.
AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.
The Anniversary of oar great' National Jabi-
toe ooearing this year on the Sabbath, its cele
bration was observed in this City on Monday,
the 5th.
The exercises of the day commenced with the
discharge of Cannon, and Religious services at
the Presbyterian Church, where the Rev. Mr.
Lact delivered one of the most chaste and ap
propriate addresses it has been our rood fortune
to hear, having sad, too, only a few hours' no
tice for preparation.
At lO.Vclock, the Procession was formed, ac
cording to the Programme, under the direction
of CKTDtBcMii, CWefMarahsJl, andMeesrs.
W. H. Jones, R. S. Tucker, T, J. Utley, and J.
F. Hatchins, Assistants. . : '
On reaching the Hall of the House of Com
mons,' after an impressive prayer by the Rev.
Mr. Lacr, the Declaration of Indepeadence was
very wall read by Mr. J. J. R. Hiuxutn. Then
succeeded the Oration by Mr. E. G. Hatwood,
which evinced a high order of talent, abounded
in patriotic sentiments, and afforded great grat
ification to ais large and respectable aaditory j
' Ia the afternoon, the celebration by the Sun
day schools was one of the most pleasing parti
of the public display. It was impossible to look
upon the long line of ehndrea of bta Wes,

actor of WnxiA A. Gsaba,, its bdignant sTd
withering denunciation of their assailants ii
compact array of facts, its humorous and tellinl
oontrast between the military services of Pi
and Seott, its forcible exposition of the Whie
Platform, and its stirring invocation to the
Whigs of North Carolina to buckle on their
armor fr he contests before us, and to vindi
eato the character of the State, by restoring her
is August next, to her former proud position'
as Oe Whig State of the Union. The remark,"
of Mr. Miller were attended throughout by the
most lively and prolonged demonstrations of
applause, and,, at their conclusion, it was mtnj
minutes before the enthusiasm could be at all
suppressed.
The crowd now adjourned to the tritibl pft
m on the. skirt of the Grove, where tW
found everything that was palatable and rob
stantiaL In the middle of the table, we observ
ed an immense Bowl of &up-apaci0ttg u
that in which the . three wise men of Gotham
went to sea,-4abeled - A Hasty Plate," togeth
er .with many Other appropriate devices. That
such "soup" as that was " hastily" eonramed
is no less a compliment to Psrnx, who had the
" getting upff of it, than evidence of a dispoet-ikst-os)
tha part of our Whig friends to follow
the example of brave old Chippewa their LUus
trious leader. .-.
An hour or so was spent in this pleasant
skirmish of knives and forks, when a given sig
nal called tiie assemblage " from refreshment to
labor." Jt might be called labor, by way of
courtesy, because to make and hear speeches
was the butinen of that day. But if anj bodj
who heard the Speech of that gallant and gifted
Whig, the Hon. Richaxd S. Doxxxix, who hap.
penedto.be in . Raleigh, and had favored as
with his presence on this occasion, deemed it a
labor, we hope that no such hopeless sinner nay
ever darken our door, or call us his friend. We
shall attempt no epitome of Mr. D's. remarks.
They made a most excellent impression, and
afforded great gratification to the many Whigs
present. When he had concluded, three cheers
were given, respectively, for Mr. Dokhiu. and
for Stanlt's District. .
Mr. Rahsom, of Warren, was next caBed ie ,
the stand, and greatly contributed, by his elo
quent and spirited remarks, to increase the
general good feeling and enthusiasm of the
crowd. Warren had good reason to be proad
of her representative on the occasion.
After short, but capital speeches from Messrs.
S. H. Roans, and B. F. Moou, who were res
pectfully called out, the crowd dispersed with
cheers for Scott, Gxahax, and Kixx. Nor
should we omit to mention here, that every allu
sion to our glorious candidates was responded
to by lead acclamstioa. " -.
The day passed off gloriously. 'We tell our
friends elsewhere! that although there may ba
an exception or two, here ahdrthere, the Whigs
of Wake are- united and enthusiast for our
candidates and in our cause. They will ao their
whole duly in the campaigns and the elections
before us. They have imbibed a portion'of the
determination of their brave leader, and' are
